Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: net: add option to ignore local-mac-address

Add the option 'ignore-local-mac-address' to allow ignoring bogus
addresses. This restores the ability to correctly set the MAC address from
the device tree if a boot program stores a randomly generated address in
'local-mac-address'.
